Lynch law is a Up to the present time .that most impresses the distant obr server of the European war is the general lack of "teamwork." The fighting has been done in one section at a time on one front or the other. No doubt the military leaders and strategists have Ihnd their reasons for this fragmentary practice and the most probably reason is the enormous consumption of ammunition in any sector where the fighting is intense and driving tactics are undertaken. . In most of the fighting the central powers have taken the aggres'sivs. They have concentrated men and am munition for some time before tn point of intended attack suddenly launched their ofrensivjj along a sector of four or five miles in ! length with tho mam , attack con centrated in a space of a few hun dred years. This would seem to pfier temptation to their opponents at some other point or several others, where the defensive lino is supposed to (have been weakened by the with drawal of troops. ' After the tide of war swept back from the Maine to the Meuse there was a long pause along the western front. Meanwhile tho Russians ham mered their way to the Carpathian? only to be forced back, and then the prolonged struggle went on about Warsaw. Then came a pause on the eastern front and an attack was made around Ypres intended to' drive through to Calis, All through tho war thus far the fighting has been . spasmodic and intermittent. This lack of team work permitted the drive through Serbia by a concentra tion of tho central powers', force.-:. Russia had been fought to a stand still and was supposed to have been eliminated from the war on the as sumption that it would be manv months before she could resume the offensive. .1 "But at present there are indication? of team work.

"There is still another way to get at an understanding of 'Bud'. Take the cartoonist of the old school, who caii ca turps public men and public events Why does not thnt kind of cartoonist have to be satisfied with !ess than 'Bud's' income? The answer run3 this way: J "Human beings first think of them- i selves. They can't help it. They are built that way. In this fact is found i the reason why the modern newspa i per comic strip is more popular than cartoons of public men or events. The I newspaper comici such as 'Bud' and Goldberg draw, is about you and me. ', The old fashioned cartoon is about somebody else Woodrow Wilson or ! Theodore Roosevelt, for example and I while you and I regard Wilson and Roosevelt as interesting, we cannot honestly say that we are as much in terested in them as we are in ourselves The newspaper comic maker, either in stinctively or by design has discover ed this truth. Po, instead of giving us a picture of Wilson or Rooseve'.t, he fcives us a picture of a comical happen ing right in our own home or our of fice. Thcro in the picture is you and there am I and over there is that honohoad we konw, who acts just that way. We have seen him do thnt a thou sand times! Oh, what an idiot he is!

A trunk full of medals attests to that fact, and Wilmot still follows the rule he adopted in bird shooting 00 years ago, "Through the head or no meat." Just before the soldiers left Spokune for the .Mexican border two weeks ago, "Uncle Lew)'' and his rifle per forated on the army range at Fort George Wright and the white-haired Veteran made better marks than the best riflemen at .the post could make. Some of the boys in blue took Wilmot'ii rifle and bettered their own marks made with the army rifles. The show ing was so imlpressive that one of the officers staled in a letter to the mili tary affairs committee of the Spokane Lyman sight as adjusted by Mr. Lew Wilmot is a grent improvement over sights no win use." After !i8 years Lew Wilmot is hope ful that his sights will be adopted. "I don't want, and shan't take a cent for my trouble," said Air. Wilmot.
